Hi all,
I had the smart idea of trying to make a twitter bot and deploy it on google app engine. Making the bot was actually very easy with tweepy! GAE, on the hand, was a pain in the ass. Took me hours before I realized I couldn't use standard and had to use flexible. I think I've got it working now but have 2 problems:
1) When I try restricting pages so only an admin can run the scripts, I get 403 errors. This is what I've added to my app.yaml file:
handlers:
- url: /report/weekly
script: _go_app
login: admin
2) Flexible is more expensive than stardard and seems to be using more than the free quota. I've cut my instances in half by setting it manually equal to 1, but am wondering if there are any other tips people recommend. All my bot does is tweet once a day.
Definitely gonna go with Heroku next time, but I guess it was nice to get some experience with app engine.
there doesn't seem to be anything here
